A week of unrest has continued in the Hague with a fourth successive night of rioting following the death of a Caribbean man in police custody. Dutch police say they detained more than 200 people overnight (Thursday to Friday) for violating terms of a curfew as tempers flared in a mostly immigrant neighborhood. Preliminary findings from an autopsy indicate that Mitch Henriquez, from the Dutch island of Aruba, died of asphyxiation after being held in a chokehold and pinned down when he was detained. The 42-year-old, who was visiting the Netherlands, was arrested at a concert on Saturday for allegedly shouting that he had a gun, although he did not in fact have a weapon, investigators said.

As anger continues after his death, five police officers have been suspended, pending the results of an inquiry. The Hague’s police force has previously been criticized by Amnesty International and in a 2013 Dutch TV documentary for targeting foreigners and immigrants disproportionately and with greater use of force.

The specter of an agricultural catastrophe hangs over southern Italy with the spread of a bacteria that is devastating olive tree groves. Xylella fastidiosa kills plants by preventing them from absorbing water. It is a threat not just to olive trees, but also to a range of nut and fruit-producing plants and the European Union is monitoring the outbreak nervously. The Italian authorities have taken measures to contain the outbreak in the Apulia region, but the disease has already been detected in at least one location north of a specially-created buffer zone.

Complicating matters further, there are disagreements over the causes and treatment of this devastating disease. As Hans von Der Brelie found out when he went to the affected region, there are even claims that the Mafia are involved, using the natural disaster as a pretext to boost property development.
